Out again this morning on the endless trail of London by elections. This time it was North Woolwich - which I last visited on my Capital Ring walk two years ago - where a council seat is being defended by Labour.
We had a very large group of volunteers, Labour were in evidence and so were the Christian Peoples' Alliance who have the only non Labour seat on Newham Council, virtually a one party state. On the face of it, this is not promising territory, but demographic change and an evident weariness with Labour's unbroken reign have opened up an opportunity for enthusiastic candidate Neil Pearce. The election takes place a week on Thursday.

Some understandable confusion about this - North Woolwich is on the north side of the river unlike Woolwich itself which is on the south side. They are connected by the Woolwich Ferry, and now by the DLR too.
The council ward is called Royal Docks I believe, and any help would be gratefully received.
It would help your credibility somewhat if you could have bothered to get the correct spelling of the Tory candidate...
Still, what's to be expected from the "Taliban Kid"? (Roger Evans is currently under investigation by the GLA standards Committee, after accusing various people of being the "Climate Change Taliban") For shame.....
Thanks Lelboy - spelling altered...
Is it contagious?
